It is generally up to the finance company but they usually proceed with court action; which destroying a secured form of collateral is punishable in a court of law. If found guilty & you think "they can't get blood out of a turnip", like the old saying goes; just to let you know, all civil judgments stay against you for 10 + yrs so if you ever have income; they may/can collect against you.

This is how I understand it in the state of TN anyways!
